My CEO Ex-husband Wants To Remarry Me

Chapter 12

One of the women suggested, “Let’s go to the main table and make a toast.”

There were nods of agreement all around the table. Everyone filled their glasses with wine, fixed their makeup, and lowered their necklines…

“Su Ruowan.” The girl next to Su Ruowan nudged her and said, “Come on, pour some wine in your glass!”

Su Ruowan shook her head. “No, I can’t drink. If I get too drunk and delay the show tomorrow…”

The girl pursed her lips in displeasure after hearing this. Raising her tone, she said, “It’s just a little red wine. You’ve only taken a sip until now. How will you get drunk after having just one more sip? Hurry up and pour some!”

Su Ruowan had already made up her mind not to approach Jing Muchen and Zhang Luoya tonight. In fact, if it were up to her, she would rather just leave…

Although the other girls at her table had already stood up, she didn’t move at all. Seeing this, the girl who had been trying to persuade her just now also gave up and hurried to the main table with a glass of wine in her hand.

Now that she had finally escaped from the disaster, Su Ruowan let out a sigh of relief.

After looking at all those girls smiling sweetly and flattering each other, she felt like she didn’t fit in here at all.

“Miss Zhang and Mr. Jing, you’re a perfect match…”

“Thank you, Miss Zhang and Mr. Jing. Tomorrow’s launch event will definitely be a success…”

“Miss Zhang, you’re so beautiful. I wish you two an eternal love…”

Although this was a pep rally, they were focusing on the fact that Jing Muchen and Zhang Luoya were now dating. They all seemed to be missing the point. Some of the bolder girls even hit on Jing Muchen, regardless of the fact that his girlfriend was sitting right next to him.

“Mr. Jing, you are so generous tonight…”

“Mr. Jing, will you attend the launch event tomorrow?”

“Mr. Jing, this is my business card…”

From her seat, Su Ruowan could hear all their words, and she couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. These young girls were really fearless! They had the guts to hit on a man and even hand over their business cards to him while his girlfriend was around. Curiosity got the better of her, and she put her chopsticks down on the table and turned her head to see what was happening. Jing Muchen was sitting at the main table with a gloomy face. In contrast, the group of beautiful girls that surrounded him were filled with excitement, and their eyes sparkled with admiration… Somehow, the image of an ancient brothel came to Su Ruowan’s mind.

She had to admit, time favored men far more than women.

At the age of 30, Jing Muchen still looked handsome and youthful. His success in his career and his rich family background attracted countless eligible women, even when he just sat there without doing anything…

Su Ruowan shook her head in amusement and turned back to enjoy the delicious food.

Looking at the young girls trying to flirt with her boyfriend, Zhang Luoya felt a fire burning in her heart. If Jing Muchen wasn’t sitting right there, she would have stood up and given each of them a deserving slap on their face! How dare they covet her man in front of her? In a word, it was shameless.

She gently grabbed the glass that was sitting in Jing Muchen’s hand, raised it to her luscious red lips, and drank up the rest of the wine.

As if declaring her identity as Jing Muchen’s girlfriend, she turned the empty glass upside down, clearly showing that not even a drop of the wine was left.

Then, glancing at the models in front of her with disdain in her eyes, she said, “You know, A Chen wasn’t going to come tonight. But since tomorrow’s launch event is the first project I’ve been in charge of after joining Dacheng Company, he agreed to come. I’m deeply touched by his support for me. Anyway, as his girlfriend, I know that he has a weak stomach and can’t drink too much, so it would be best if you stopped proposing a toast to him.”

In just the space of a few words, she managed to highlight Jing Muchen’s concern for her, while also subtly criticizing the models for flirting shamelessly with him.

The faces of the girls turned red. They froze in embarrassment, not daring to speak.

As for Jing Muchen, he didn’t seem to be aware of the infighting around him. He just pursed his lips, gracefully picked up a wet wipe, and wiped his slender fingers one by one.

Wang Lirong, the CEO of Dongli Company, stood up and tried to smooth things over. “Miss Zhang is right! Although the wine is good, one shouldn’t drink too much… I’m counting on all of you for the launch event tomorrow, so drink in moderation. Later, at the celebration party, you can all drink to your heart’s content!”

Gao Xiaoxiao also stood up with a pleasant smile and led the girls back to their seats.

“Humph! She’s so conceited!” the girl who sat next to Su Ruowan grumbled as she flopped down onto her seat and slammed the glass on the table.

“Ai Li…” A beautiful girl dressed in black leather and sitting opposite her hissed at her. “Lower your voice! Zhang Luoya is staring right at you!”

Ai Li snorted angrily. Then, seeing that Su Ruowan was still calmly focusing on the food, she decided to provoke her instead. “Su Ruowan, are you satisfied now? You’re here enjoying the food while we all made a fool of ourselves. That’s what you wanted, isn’t it?”

Su Ruowan just swallowed the delicious lobster meat in her mouth, and didn’t bother responding to her provocation. Instead of enjoying the seafood delicacies laid out in front of them, these models had gone over to provoke Zhang Luoya instead. She was not that stupid!

She thought it was a pity that Jiu Jiu couldn’t be here to enjoy the seafood feast… A part of her felt sorry. Jiu Jiu loved eating seafood, especially shrimp balls. Every time she ate shrimp balls, her lips would curve up into a wide smile…

Seeing that Su Ruowan ignored her, Ai Li’s temper rose. Her pretty face, which was covered in heavy makeup, flushed red with anger.

Just now, she had to swallow the insult from Zhang Luoya, because she couldn’t afford to offend her. But now, even Su Ruowan was blatantly insulting her with her silence. Su Ruowan was so poor that she couldn’t even afford an evening dress! How dare she ignore her? Just when Ai Li was about to scold her, a young waiter in a black tuxedo approached their table with a large plate of steaming fried food. He stood between Su Ruowan and Ai Li to serve the dish.

Just as he lowered the dish to put it onto the table, Ai Li suddenly stood up, and his arm tilted…
